Thousands of protestors in Hebron and Al-Bireh city, the West Bank, threw rocks and bottles at Israeli soldiers. The Israeli army’s spokesperson said its soldiers used anti-violence tools to disperse the crowd. One injured protester in Gaza is in critical condition.

The Hamas Islamic Movement has launched a “people’s rebellion” following the US recognition of Jerusalem as Israel’s capital.

US Ambassador to the UN Nikki Haley said Washington has picked no side in the Israel-Palestine conflict.
